ec2-plugin: now really slow on first build

[James Green]

Hi,

I'm aware that a recent ec2-plugin upgrade has led us to switch to the
"recommended" ssh handshake protocol.

However, my team are now complaining that new EC2 instances are taking
minutes to get started whereas before a couple of weeks ago it was
bearable. Subsequent builds by the same agent instance are snappy.

Jenkins agent logs do show a wait for the ec2 console to print the
fingerprints ahead of connecting. What is not clear, is what I can do to
speed up the provisioning time, other than have constantly running ec2
instances.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

James

Re: Delay agent execution for auto-updates at boot

[James Green]

Hi Toni,

Looks like we are not alone:
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-43771 (see linked issue which
is indeed the same).

I ended up adding a vanilla Amazon Linux 2 AMI as an agent yesterday to try
things. It failed because git wasn't installed. I added a user data script
to install this but then java wasn't installed. So I added this too and the
agent log stalled entirely. Not sure what I did wrong and have not had a
chance to investigate further. Your comments well well be relevant - the
documentation inline did not make clear the difference between user data
and init script when used on an Amazon Linux 2 AMI (there is cloud-init).

If I get further I will update this thread.

James

Re: Delay agent execution for auto-updates at boot

[James Green]

So our builds failed again yesterday due to this automatic update kicking
in. I checked, there was indeed a JDK security update so no complaints, but
I need a better system of updating Jenkins.

Given Packer can search for and filter down AMIs, I thought the EC2 plugin
should be able to, too. Solves our issue. Ticket if anyone is interested:

Delay agent execution for auto-updates at boot

[James Green]

I finally used Packer to build an AMI based on Amazon Linux 2 to act as as
agent. Yesterday, the builds began failing with a Java stack trace.

Turns out the EC2 instance starts, and in parallel the Jenkins agent begins
and an auto-upgrade of openjdk kicked off. Further instructions failed.
Rebuild the AMI and the new agent worked a treat.

Is there a way of avoiding this problem by preventing Jenkins from
launching the agent until the boot steps are complete? I cannot be the
first to encounter this issue :-)

Thanks,

James

Run script before build is deleted?

[James Green]

Is this possible?

What I would like to do: examine the build and discover if there are any
docker images. If there are, delete them from the registry first.

Is this feasible?

Advanced / Deprecated plugins

[James Green]

Within the "Sample Step" drop-down we have an end listing Advanced /
Deprecated plugins.

How can I tell which ones are Advanced, and which are Deprecated?

I am, in particular, very confused concerning our use of docker private
registries which I'm reading we may be using the wrong plugin for.

Thanks,

Pipeline options incorrectly documented?

[James Green]

Ref: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/

I've just added `timestamps()` to my Jenkinsfile:

options {
buildDiscarder(logRotator(numToKeepStr: '20'))
timestamps()
}

And the build fails immedidately:

WorkflowScript: 5: Invalid option type "timestamps". Valid option types:
[authorizationMatrix, buildDiscarder, catchError, disableConcurrentBuilds,
dockerNode, overrideIndexTriggers, retry, script, skipDefaultCheckout,
skipStagesAfterUnstable, timeout, waitUntil, withContext, withCredentials,
withEnv, ws] @ line 5, column 9.
   timestamps()
   ^

The documentation's list of options and the accepted options seem to differ
quite a bit and there's nothing noted in the Changelog about this.

What gives?

Thanks,

James

Re: [multibranch] [bitbucket] Code push tells Jenkins, Jenkins doesn't build anything

[James Green]

Solved!

We had been using the "BitBucket Plugin" to receive the web hook
notifications from BitBucket.org and expected this to continue to work.

https://go.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-documentation/cje-user-guide/index.html#bitbucket
mentions Web Hook Registration yet we saw no such option (else this may
have provided a hint).

Then we found a Q describing the issue and declaring the URL in here:
https://support.cloudbees.com/hc/en-us/articles/11553051-How-to-Trigger-Multibranch-Jobs-from-BitBucket-Server-

If only the first article had that URL... If only the job creation screen
mentioned the need for a new web hook... Oh well!

[multibranch] [bitbucket] Code push tells Jenkins, Jenkins doesn't build anything

[James Green]

I've just converted a Pipeline job that built every time a change was
pushed into BitBucket to the equivalent as a multibranch project.

Trouble is, pushes no longer trigger builds. BitBucket is still getting a
200 OK from the webhook when it hits Jenkins, but nothing else happens.

On inspection, the multibranch project created a `master` child job which
has an option "Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket" but this is NOT
checked, and the child job lacks any save button with which to change
things. When I created the project the master branch built just fine first
time.

This appears to be a bug but I might expect more complaints when I search
for it. I wonder if it is some requirement of the user that connects to
BitBucket - like it doesn't have sufficient rights for something not
involving cloning?

Thoughts?

Reliable Job Name?

[James Green]

I have a multibranch job inside a folder. It's JOB_BASE_NAME is the name of
the git branch name, not the job's base name.

I'm slightly bemused that there appears no API means of acquiring such
information, at least not from the Google Fu I have so far.

Any ideas?

Re: jenkins-jira-plugin: Failed to authenticate with JIRA

[James Green]

The Wiki page says:

"Starting from this plugin version 2.0, it is using JIRA REST API to
communicate instead of JIRA RPC SOAP which has been deprecated and removed
since JIRA v.7.0"

So that's the SOAP interface dropped since version 2. Inside JIRA I think
it's had a REST interface since around version 4. There's no suggestion
that the plugin should not work against the REST interface in JIRA-6.

My copy of IntelliJ is working against our JIRA-6 instance via the Tasks
component without trouble - which I strongly suspect is also using the REST
interface.

jenkins-jira-plugin: Failed to authenticate with JIRA

[James Green]

Got the latest LTS version of Jenkins with current jenkins-jira-plugin and
a JIRA 6.4 installation.

I can log in to JIRA without issue and in the configuration I can see that
the Remote API is indeed switched on.

When I do a wget from our Jenkins box against JIRA I get told I'm not
authenticated - perfect.

When I configure the JIRA plugin within Jenkins using my credentials I hit
"Validate" and get told Failed to authenticate.

Checked the Jenkins logs and I find a stack trace. An HTTP response has
been received - HTML output with markup that I've failed to authenticate.
The stack trace itself says it expected a JSON response!

I'm sure this must be pretty fundamental. Does it somehow require a more
recent version of JIRA or something that I've not spotted?

Thanks,

James

Re: Discard old build artifacts?

[James Green]

Hi,

Sorry but how does this retain the logs forever but discard the artifacts?
Reading the example I would expect the logs to be rotated and the artifacts
to be maintained which is the opposite.

Where is the documentation for the other options?

Thanks,

James

Discard old build artifacts?

[James Green]

I don't want to remove the entire job - having the logs of what the SCM
commit was and build output logs is really useful alongside the Jenkins
build number.

But I'm generating gigs of artifacts that I don't need. Is there a way of
discarding these within a Jenkinsfile?

Thanks,

James

Per Job Dashboard: Add information from Jenkinsfile?

[James Green]

Is this possible?

I have just adapted a Jenkinsfile to set the job description based on some
dynamic values.

But what I would really like it to add entries into a simple map of
key=value pairs that can then be rendered on the job screen.

I think I saw something a little like this in the enterprise edition, not
sure if something exists for the OSS version?

file-operations-plugin: silent failure downloading from Nexus

[James Green]

This plugin works fine downloading binaries from various web sites, but
give it a file to download from Nexus and it fails instantly with no error:

[Pipeline] step

[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node

ERROR: File Operations failed.

I would post this bug into JIRA but that is not possible:

The value 'file-operations-plugin' does not exist for the field 'component'.

Don't suppose anyone here can suggest anything?

Can't immediately see a way of doing this. I've set a new `sessionTimeout`

Without wishing to wait a lengthy period, is there a web console page to

Tools installation doesn't happen

[James Green]

My job wants to launch a Docker container. I've gone into System
Configuration and asked it to install the latest Docker CLI from docker.io

When my job runs, it fails telling me it cannot find the 'docker' binary in
the path. There appears to be no attempt to install the tool automatically.

Surely it should have installed this for me? I've even tried restarting
Jenkins...

Any ideas?

Promoting a build with $POM_VERSION?

[James Green]

We have a Maven job to which I have added a "Promote builds when" clause
allowing someone to pick a build and promote it.

This promotion triggers a deployment job. This deployment job appears
pretty naive. Is there any way of getting the Maven project version into
here? From my limited understanding, by the time the promotion occurs the
$POM_VERSION has already disappeared as it is not executed at the point of
build.

Thanks,

James

Re: Jenkins and GitHub Enterprise "Forking"

[James Green]

This would require Jenkins and the SCM to share permissions, wouldn't it?
For Jenkins to be configured to "follow forks" it needs permission to
access any other user's repositories as they may be a fork of the
originally monitored repository?

Doesn't Bamboo do this? Or did I misread this feature?

Re: Jenkins, Web application server and Nexus

[James Green]

The only point I'd make is you don't really want Jenkins to know about
your servers individually to deploy to them. Perhaps for staging purposes,
but given the elasticity in the world of production machines you probably
want to pull using a script on your production instances from your repo
manager like Nexus. Puppet can do this. Another option is to container(ise)
your builds and then use orchestration onwards.

The key is that Jenkins probably doesn't know about production boxes. There
might be many, and they may well fluctuate.

 You can do a lot with Jenkins so you dont need GoCD.  We are using GoCD
 because I think it does  better job at visualizing and managing deployment
 pipelines (post-build) and provides idempotent revisions which we use as a
 rollback solution.  In other words, pipelines are versioned and if done
 right you can go back in time and rerun any step with the exact settings
 used previously.

 if you don't need or care about that and the complexity is not too crazy,
 stick with Jenkins.  What Jenkins does very well is the implicit Maven
 build dependences and all the other tool and  plug in integrations to get
 your initial build artifacts, source/coverage analysis such as SonarQube
 etc. and unit test reporting.

 Good luck!

 If (as an example) you are running Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04, you would

 is a file /var/lib/tomcat7/conf/tomcat-users.xml that configures the users
 allowed to authenticate to the admin (via UI or API endpoint) to manage the
 applications deployed to Tomcat.  The url for the manager application would
 be something like:

 http://yourserver:8080/manager/html

 See https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html for
 details on using/configuring it.

 WIthout a manager API or interface, you somehow need to get the WAR file
 to the server.  If using tomcat (as an example) on Ubuntu the typical path
 (if installed via the apt package system) would be
 /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps.  Dropping the WAR file in there would cause it to
 automatically deploy/redeploy.  Again, I'm not familiar with JBoss but I
 imagine it is similar.

 At my previous company, Jenkins published the WAR file version to our
 GoCD pipeline.  It would then go to Nexus and pull that version of the WAR,
 create and RPM (CentOS based distro), push the RPM to a central repository,
 update Chef Data Bags and then initiate the Chef update which would pull
 the new RPM onto the server and push the WAR to the right folder.

 At my current company we are using GoCD with SaltStack to update the
 Salt pillar files for the application.  WHen we run the salt
 state.highstate command, the system detects a change to the WAR file, pulls
 it directly from Nexus and drops it into the tomcat webapps folder (after
 it does a stop tomcat, clean old war folder/file, restart tomcat).  It also
 provisions tomcat if needed and updates any application specific properties
 files or settings.

 Hope that was clear.

 Jenkins has the 'deploy war/ear to a container' plugin to facilitate

 they will not install the manager application so it is either

 I could have the upstream jobs call the same downstream job, for example

 So, to ease maintenance, I would like to link

 Are there any known gotcha's with respect to linking config.xml files?
 FWIW; the Jenkins server is on Windows.

Re: Promote jobs from test - staging - production

Going off topic rather...

I just spoke out loud in our office the fragment develop in test, test in
staging, and run in production. Consensus here is that as an industry we
have the names wrong. After all, non technical bosses expect testing before
going live, they have no idea what staging is intended to mean and
frankly the term probably won't mean anything to many developers out there
today.

... And back to topic.

 From a first glance, i can see that everything credential related is

 We have have 50-75 users with access now, and the company uses Google

 Are there manual steps to migrate? Is it seamless? Does it default to

Without the Jenkins artefacts in central, this impedes community
development.

 Since I am not familiar with the Jenkins API, I would like to program my

 Having to write the groovy in Jenkins (in a simple text area) and test it
 by starting the build is taking forever.

 I was thinking of creating a maven project, but I cannot find any jar for
 the Jenkins API in the maven repository.
 I did find the jenkins repository http://repo.jenkins-ci.org/public, but
 finding anything useful jenkins api there was like looking for a needle in
 a haystack.

 dependency
 groupIdorg.jenking/groupId
 artifactIdjenkins-api/artifactId
 version1.599/version
 /dependency

 Using the Jenkins API in Groovy, I reckon it is the same as making a
 plugin for Jenkins in Java (Same API)? I could even make my code in Java
 and use it as is in Groovy.

 Looked a little into the following Plugin tutorial. Though found it a bit
 complex to set up environment for development.

 https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugin+tutorial#Plugintutorial-SettingUpEnvironment


 Perhaps I should ask this in Jenkins Developers instead...

SVN Credentials missing after migration

[James Green]

We tried migrating a Jenkins instance from one server to another by simply
rsync'ing /var/lib/jenkins.

This successfully produced a new server full of jobs. But on running one of
them we were told to enter SVN credentials for the repository. This is
strange given we have this on a global basis (confirmed in both old and
new).

Do we have something wrong locally or did we miss a step in our migration?
Any ideas?

Thanks,

James

When you are declined login

[James Green]

When I type in a bad username/password, I get a page asking me to try again.

Any reason I have to click the link before being prompted to type it again?
Most systems these day re-prompt with any last error message.

Just trying to cut down the mouse clicks...

Last Success shows unexpected time

[James Green]

My build just completed. It took around five minutes. The Last Success
time shows a time five minutes ago - presumably the time the build _began_.

Am I wrong in expecting the last success to be when the last successful
build _completed_?

Re: Restricting logins via LDAP groups

[James Green]

You either know who they are, or they are anonymous. Once you know their
identity then you can set their permissions. Everyone in our company even
sales can identify themselves against our instance but they won't see
anything unless they are in at least jenkins-users and to make changes
they require jenkins-power-users.

Seems pretty simple to me.

 Hi all,

 I'm trying to restrict the people that can successfully *login* to a
 narrow set of LDAP groups.  I've tried several settings, and searched for
 solutions.  So far I'm coming up blank.  So, here I am, looking for
 assistance.

 So, given the following example setup, what would be the correct settings
 to use?

   Jenkins 1.581.1  (running as a windows service)
   Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit
   ad.example.edu
   Limit logins only to members of the group:
 ad.example.edu/DEVS/abc1/Groups/abc1_developers

 To be clear, my needs can't be answered by matrix authorization.  The goal
 right now is to restrict *authentication*, not authorization.

 Many thanks for your time,

 What's the goal of such statements? Not being too informed on software
 accessibility challenges and requirements, I'd like to have an
 understanding of
 the cost/benefit for the Jenkins project to release/publish such a
 statement.


It's fairly narrow for Jenkins I think. A commercial provider might
consider it for large government contracts.

Given Jenkins itself is API accessible and otherwise has a convenient web
interface, adoption of WAI guidelines is probably sufficient.

Half the time these statement requirements boil down to less than a page.
It's there to ensure the supplier is aware of their responsibilities.

 If you are not using any of these then you always have the ability to do

Re: Permgen issues only when run as a Windows Service

For the purposes of completeness, a follow-up.

I have overcome the problem. It seems the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable

If I Configure the project, and click Advanced under Build I can add
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m to MAVEN_OPTS. This resolved the issue for me.

Distributing software through web sites with automatic updates

[James Green]

We are distributing Windows software via a web site that includes an
automatic updates feature. Both the Windows software and the web site are
built using Maven and Jenkins.

At present the web site (a WAR) uses Maven to depend-on a Maven version of
the Windows software (an exe). Each customer receives this WAR so
versions are per-customer.

Currently, a developer will give the Maven windows project a build number
in a file and share that within a file of the WAR archive. I want Jenkins
to be put in charge of this. Clearly the artefact of the Windows file can
be made aware of the Jenkins build number via an environment variable
during the build process but as the WAR archive is constructed the build
number of the dependent Windows project needs to be identified and included
in the WAR itself. While we could feed this in, I'd prefer Jenkins to
remain autonomous.

At this point I'm a little lost but I suspect this sort of thing has been
done before so suggestions from experience would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James

OOM: Permgen issues only when run as a Windows Service

[James Green]

I've got a Windows 8 Pro machine connected to our Jenkins 1.562 instance as
a slave. The slave runs as a windows service.

I have set MAVEN_OPTS as a system property variable. If I open an
administrative cmd prompt and type 'set' included is the following:

MAVEN_OPTS=-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=356m
-XX:PermSize
=1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m

If I check out a maven 3 project and clean/install it myself it works. But
the Jenkins service fails it, with OOM: Permgen Space.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

James
